If you go to the fourth post on page 1 of this thread, I posted that I was going to cosplay Red-Eyed XaXa because I love villains and nobody cosplays him.

Well, I can see this thread has grown considerably, likely due to the popularity of the show. But I have delivered on my promise.

I have created a cosplay.com page detailing the parts, but will be gradually getting pics up. If you want a sneak peak on the pics I'm going to link a progress album and an album of the complete outfit.

I am making Asuna's sword and I wanted to know some opinions about using some plastic styrene and linoleom. the styrene is like a PVC construct. but I am unsure how to mold the materials I have a heat gun and saw, but does anyone have any good tutorials that show the shaping method used for the hilt?

Checkout Junkercosplay's blog. The vast majority of his stuff is with plastics and similar stuff:http://junkerscosplay.blogspot.com/
It's not the same exact stuff, but it's really close

Has anybody seen the card game pop up in stores yet? I see it all over Ebay, but I wanna know if the prices I see are fair before I start buying for the artwork, and possibly to actually play if people at conventions actually play.

i am planning a silica cosplay now. i have the money to order the major part of it and i did buy a foam sword to try and make into her dagger but there is pvc in the center of it and i dont know if i can cut it down. >.> but i did start to paint the hilt of it and i am wondering if it would look fine it i was silica but with a sword >< here is the foam sword https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...05793702_n.jpg

You won't be able to do anything with that making it shorter unless you build a new tip, or completely new blade. You have to cut the pipe down, which a hacksaw will work fine, but you will loose any tip you want on it..

like i said i am thinking about making it look like the ivory dagger she got from kirito since it cant really be made shorter. the center is not all the way through it. the tip is just foam and there is an area where it stops and it can be bent to show but i still dont know. i just painted the hilt white. and i am going to trim it around the hilt some. this is my second time making props fully. i painted a lunch box for my mechromaner cosplay. XD i just dont know if it will look funny with a sword and silica weilds daggers.
